This paper explores governance and management structures of e-waste activities by assessing legal & policy framework in Ghana, management and disposal, institutional arrangement, regulation & permitting, importation, compliance, enforcement structures and awareness creation in the governance of e-waste in Ghana using a desktop studies and expert interviews. The benefits of this exploration have profound incentive for the management and control of the ever increasing adverse impacts of e-waste on human health and the environment.

Among them, the possibility to infer and locate network problems (e.g. persistent shortage of capacity, or equipment mis functioning), in the core and radio sections, without direct access to the equipments. This approach yields strong practical benefits, given the costs and complexity of accessing network equipments, especially in the Radio Access Network. At the same time, it exposes practical issues - e.g. the need to dynamically locate the traffic sources (Mobile Stations) - and theoretical problems - e.g. inferring congested cells from Routing-Area level TCP measurements. We report on our work-in-progress aimed at implementing such mechanisms on top of an advanced monitoring system now deployed in an operational network","PeriodicalId":173381,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Current Engineering and Maths","volume":"7 9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126084352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One such class of viscoelastic fluids is the Rivlin– Ericksen’s fluid. RIVLIN and ERICKSEN] have proposed a theoretical model for such viscoelastic fluid. The behaviour of surface waves propagating between two Rivlin–Ericksen elastico-viscous fluids is examined. The investigation is made in the presence of a vertical electric field and a relative horizontal constant velocity. The influence of both surface tension and gravity force is taken into account. Due to the inclusion of streaming flow a mathematical simplification is considered. The viscoelastic contribution is demonstrated in the boundary conditions. From this point of view the approximation equations of motion are solved in the absence of viscoelastic effects. The solutions of the linearized equations of motion under nonlinear boundary conditions lead to derivation of a nonlinear equation governing the interfacial displacement and having damping terms with complex coefficients.","PeriodicalId":173381,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Current Engineering and Maths","volume":"108 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131609802","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
